With fantastic views of Rothiemurchus Forest and the Cairngorm Mountains, the High Range Lodge Hotel offers spacious rooms with original artwork by local artists.

Surrounded by woodland, scenic walks can be enjoyed in the immediate area. Aviemore town centre and rail station are less than 10 minutes’ walk away. The Cairngorms National Park is within 30 minutes’ drive of High Range Lodge Hotel. Large rooms, super clean, modern. Needed space to stage my new ski touring setup. Picked this place because the rooms are bigger than other comparables in Aviemore. It was all true! Lots of space to spread out and arrange my gear. Bathroom faucets / sink is deep so could easily accommodate a Nalgene (really annoying when places have cheap setups so you have to fill your water bottle with the cap) Lots of plugs to charge stuff where you need it. 2 x large coffee mugs (can accommodate cereal :) 2 x whisky tumblers 2 x drinking glasses 1 x small fridge with a mini freezer that works (for a mini freezer) Super clean. Very centrally located.

Guests at The Braeriach will be able to enjoy activities in and around Newtonmore, like hiking, skiing and cycling. The Braeriach far exceeded our expectations. The rooms were excellent, so comfortable clean and perfect for a great night's sleep. Just what we needed as a group of 3 friends cycling from Glasgow to Inverness. The owners had thought of everything to ensure we had a perfect stay. Breakfast was delicious with a great choice and very friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again if coming to the Highlands.
